How to make NASCAR more stock and less regulated.

Im not sure where this would go so I decided on here, but the point being of this thread was my mom and I deciding to watch Nationwide series over Sprint being Ford is racing the Mustang in Nationwide.

So it got me to thinking on how to get our own racing series back to its roots. Considering in terms of of other types of racing there is in the world NASCAR isn't fun to watch nor is it exciting because everyone is in the same car essentially. Granted that might be why its setup in this fashion, but I feel like it could use some change.

First one is pretty obvious and that's less Oval and more Road.Second is to actually be a STOCK Car; being the base model in either V6 or V8.Now since this is racing we are talking about there will be a few regulated details to be addressed. The clutch and transmission will be changed out for the industrial quality needed for a race. The bucket seat must be changed out for the 5 point harness, the neck brace and so on; we don't need people to be killed.

Since these are basically are the cars we get in the showrooms manufactures will be given a few options/ choices they can exercise. First being that the engine can be modified in only 3 ways. An example would be adding a super charger, inter cooler and bore out the engine block. Second one would be two mechanical changes to the car itself excluding the engine. So an example would be adding aerodynamic parts (front and rear spoilers) and sticky rubber for the wheels.

The kicker to all of this is that it would have to be pulled from their own "parts bin" so to say. And the last thing would be is that each team can set their car up differently than another team with the same car (Natural Aspiration or Forced Injection and so on). I feel these changes would really bring the phrase stock car racing back home. Any other ideas or suggestions to this would be amazing. And I know this isn't likely to happen but its nice to dream right? I mean its why we all had pin up cars.

All that would mean is whoever has the most money wins. The reason the cars are all similar is to make for exciting, close, competitive racing.

It means whichever company spends the most on r and d will murder everyone else. So the richest wins. That is why all the restrictions were put on in the first place. To keep it competitive.

I don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with getting the top level Nascar series back to "stock cars". If you want to see stockish cars race go to your local short track. Nobody cares that Formula 1 cars aren't stock anymore, or that funny cars aren't built off of stock cars anymore. I personally wouldn't want to spend 40.00 on tickets to see a bunch of stock cars run around. Keeping the playing field level like they do now keeps the races tight and interesting. If I want to go see Camaro's and such race, I will go down to Bowman Gray stadium on a Saturday night and watch that for 8.00.
